For example, using UK government Livestock Units (LUs) from the 2003 scheme [1] a particular 10 ha (25-acre) pasture field might be able to support 15 adult cattle or 25 horses or 100 sheep: in that scheme each of these would be regarded as being 15 LUs, or 1.5 LUs per hectare (about 0.6 LUs per acre).
[7] According to one author, the rotation it provided between pasture and arable land "not only produced the same amount of grain on a much reduced area, but broke the agrarian cycle of diminished returns by allowing more sheep and cattle to be kept, animals whose dung maintained" fertility.

In an economically optimum forest rotation analysis, the decision regarding optimum rotation age is undertake by calculating the maximum net present value. It can be shown as follows: NPV and its relationship with rotation age and revenue. Revenue (R) = Volume × Price; Cost (C) = Cost of harvesting + handling. Hence, Profit = Revenue − Cost.
